Long hair on older women
Posted: 7/30/2007 7:59:25 PM
I really wondered about this myself...several times I have cut my hair thinking that the 'rule books' say older women (OH MY GOD...DID I JUST CALL MYSELF AN OLDER WOMAN?)...need to look their age.

Anyway, sure enough I just saw it again in another O magazine...advice to women over 40 ... on how to 'change' their look. Like, why does our 'look' have to change? I feel young, I am youthful...I will wear my hair and clothes as I see fit and feel good in!

But, I still had this article about how we must change our ways to look our 'real age' in my mind when I went to a market in Peachland over the weekend. I happened upon a booth with a woman who had designed some spectacular clothes and I expressed my love of her designs to her. The designers outfits came in many shapes and sizes and I immediately went to the 'mini' skirts and halter top styles. But, there was that article to consider...

When I told the designer my fears now of buying youthful looking clothes (okay, a bit off but same thing...hair, clothes...) and she had the best response I could ever come up with. She said, "It is not about age at all. It is about BODY SHAPE (and I'll add face shape). " Sure, if I had fat knees, mini skirts would not look good on me. If I had a long narrow face (at ANY age, long hair would not suit me. If I had a big adodomen, tight clothes wouldn't do. If I had a wrinkled neck...perhaps saggy boobs (any age)...I wouldn't be caught DEAD in a tube top! It isn't about age...it's about shapes and sizes. It becomes more pronouced as we age and it is important to wear hair and clothes that suit our shapes.

Hello! I bought the mini skirt and halter top and swore I'd wear them as long as I am in the shape I am in! If I start getting those fatty flabby knees...then, and only then will I give up my mini's in the summer months!

At 45+ How long we wait to have sex???
Posted: 7/30/2007 7:38:47 PM


I find Doug G.'s response very typical of guys over 45. Since I divorced after a long marriage of 20+ years, I've been lucky (literally)...but am disappointed to have found some guys quite judgemental about 'WOMEN' who are ready almost immediately. A protective or 'teenager reaction' (as I call it) to a woman ready and willing to have sex surfaces and it is very insulting. Hey, it's the 21st century people! Get with the program. If it feels good, to both partners...do it. And, if you are doing it...leave the partner you are doing it with alone already. She is no better or worse of a person than you and you could be missing out on a long term REAL thing over your judgements.
